3.a. Zoning application [2014-401] for approx. 35.36 acres to be rezoned from RS-
15 to CH and approx. 60.04 acres from RS-15 to RM-16 along Salem Hwy.,
Ms. Cherie Akers on behalf of the Ms. Myrtle Bell and the Bell Real Estate
Partnership, LP applicant.
The subject property is located along the north side of Salem Highway between Cason
Lane and Saint Andrews Parkway. The property was annexed effective in early 2005
along with a larger area that had become completely surrounded by the City limits and
was zoned to RS-15 as an interim classification in accordance with the automatic
provisions of Section 17 of the zoning ordinance. No application for zoning has been
considered by the City since that time. The owners have now made application for
rezoning the property to CH and RM-16 in anticipation of marketing and development of
the property.
The property to the immediate west is zoned RM-16 and RZ and is developed with a
multiple family complex and a zero lot line subdivision. The property to the north is
approved for zoning as PRD for the development of a single family residential
subdivision similar to other subdivisions further to the north and west. This area was
formerly a portion of this same land tract but was sold separately. The property to the
east is zoned CF, OG, and RM-16 which portion is developed with a multiple family
complex. The property directly across the Salem Highway is zoned RS-15. A portion of
this area was previously zoned as PUD as part of the Boxwood Planned Development and
the remainder is developed with a church.
The application area includes two land tracts. The smaller that fronts along Salem Hwy.
is a parcel of approx. 3.8 acres that is improved with a single family residence and some
agricultural structures. The other tract includes approx. 91 acres of undeveloped land that
is currently being used for agricultural purposes.
The RM-16 zoning classification allows a variety of residential and institutional land uses
either by right or by special use permit upon approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Included with the agenda materials is an excerpt from Chart 1. USES PERMITTED of
the zoning ordinance that identifies the uses that are permitted in the RM-16 zoning
district as well as the RS-15, RS-12, RS-10, RS-8, RS-4, RD, and RM-12 districts. On
this chart an X indicates it is a use permitted by right subject to site plan approval and
issuance of necessary permits, an S indicates it requires approval of the Board of Zoning
Appeals for issuance of a special use permit, and a blank indicates it is not a use that is
permitted.
The RM-16 district allows multiple family developments with a maximum density of 16
dwelling units per acre. It also allows single and two family dwellings on minimum lots
of 6,000 square feet. Included with the agenda materials is an excerpt from Chart 2.
MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS, MINIMUM YARD REQUIREMENTS AND
LAND USE INTENSITY RATIOS. Were the entire 60.04 acres proposed to be zoned
RM-16 to be developed at the maximum density allowed it would allow 960 dwelling
units to be developed. However, this number is not practical because the acreage for
necessary rights of ways would decrease the number of acres as would practical
limitations for design.
Included with the agenda materials is a concept plan for development of the area
proposed to be zoned CH.
The Planning Commission will need to conduct a public hearing on this matter and then
formulate a recommendation for the City Council.
